Gwyneth Paltrow can’t get her foot out of her mouth

Gwyneth Paltrow was quoted by the Portuguese newspaper Diario de Noticias on Saturday as saying:

“I love the English lifestyle, it’s not as capitalistic as America. People don’t talk about work and money, they talk about interesting things at dinner. I like living here because I don’t fit into the bad side of American psychology. The British are much more intelligent and civilized than the Americans.”

“First of all I feel so lucky to be American. When you look at the rest of the world, we’re so lucky, and that’s something my dad always instilled in me. I feel so proud to be American. I felt so upset to be completely misconstrued and I never, ever would have said that. I definitely did not say that I think the British are more intelligent and civilized than Americans. I am a New York girl, that’s how I always think of myself and see myself. I live in England half the time because I’m married to an English guy. It’s not like I’ve left America. This is what I said. I said that Europe is a much older culture and there’s a difference. I always say in America, people live to work and in Europe, people work to live. There are positives in both. Obviously I need to go back to seventh-grade Spanish!”

Oh how cute, it was all just a misunderstanding. Too bad this isn’t the first time she’s said “Fuck you” to America. I’m not a legal expert but I’m pretty sure shooting Gwyneth Paltrow in the face is one of your Constitutional rights as an American. Right up there with having bear arms or something. You know, the furry clawy kind.

Here in the US “What do you do?” is a conversation opener, but in England it’s considered rude, as one isn’t defined by one’s work. Cultural difference, yeah, but we don’t need her to point it out – and really badly, too. And FYI, baby, there’s plenty of Eurotrash moneygrubbers out there, too.
What’s rich is that for all she thinks she fits in so well there you KNOW they’re calling her “Septic” (as in “tank”, rhymes with “Yank”) behind her back. Sweet.

I have lived 10 years in the US and there is obviously a lot to like about it – but the public in general is less educated, less critical, less intellectual than most west European countries. I know this will be followed up with a lot of “get the f(*&(*& out if you don’t like it” which brings me to the next point that the average American can’t handle criticisms and resorts to jingoism.

England, a nation of free people who voluntarily subordinate themselves to a wealthy, elitist, but politically impotent royal family, known more for their affairs, divorces, and illegitimate offspring, than their altruism or noblesse oblige.

England, a nation whose elected politicians voluntarily and enthusiastically went to war, submitting to the will of an American politician who is quite probably too dumb to spell “nuclear”, and completely unable to pronounce it.

England, a nation of melanin-deficient people who religiously disregard basic dental hygiene.

This is true, that kid’s gonna be called “Apple Martini” all her life. WTF was she thinking? And her son’s even worse off.
NO ONE, and I mean NO ONE, is EVER going to scream “Fuck me, Moses!” to him even if he had a 10 inch cock and looks like Brad Pitt and Jude Law all rolled into one.
